It is the intent of this work item to repair the Day Shape Mast. The top 8’ of mast broke off of the remaining mast and structure. The broken 8’ piece is to be reinstalled with an additional support and finished in such a manner as to allow for the continued, proper operation of hoisting and lowering of the day shapes.

2. DESCRIPTION OF WORK

The Day Shape mast is designed as a fixed mast constructed of 2” aluminum pipe with a ¼” wall thickness. To the forward side of this mast is welded an aluminum ‘T’ that serves to support the mast and facilitate its use. The Day Shapes are fixed to a second aluminum pipe, snugly fit around the mast, which rides up and down the mast as needed to display the shapes.

The fact that the upper 8’ of mast no longer exists detracts from the intended line of sight from other vessels and needs to be restored. Because of the fact that the shapes are designed to slide freely up and down the mast the finished repair must provide for this continued free operation after the sections are rejoined.

The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials and equipment and accomplish the following:

The Contractor shall remove the line that runs through the mast used to raise and lower the Day Shapes. Both sides of the broken mast shall be dressed, prepped and beveled for rewelding. A small section of support pipe, approximately 1’ in length shall be inserted into the mast so that half of it remains in each of the two parts to be joined. This pipe should be a tight fit with the inside diameter of the existing mast and shall not impede the line used for raising and lowering the shapes. This small support pipe will be held in place by the final welding of the two pieces of the broken mast.

When the mast is restored to its full height the Contractor shall install an additional structural support, fabricated from 2” aluminum pipe with a ¼” wall thickness to extend from the forward, athwartship pipe on the antenna platform approximately 28” forward of the mast to the ‘T’ mast support, approximately 36” above the newly repaired split line. This pipe shall be fixed at each end using welded gusset plates.

When all of the work is completed to the Day Shape Mast’s newly welded split line, this weld shall be ground smooth and the operating assembly reconnected. The Day Shapes shall be raised and lowered and properly tested to the satisfaction of the Vessel’s Operator and the COR/GTR.
